USA WILDCATS March 2017 CELEBRATING 20 YEARS! USA Wildcat s mission is to teach the sport of competitive cheerleading in a way that is positive, safe and effective. Our goal is to provide an affordable, character- building program for the youth of our state. The staff is here to strengthen and condition, teach proper motion technique jumps, stunting, tumbling and provide a level of skill required to compete at a national level. Our commitment is to provide a positive outlet for athletes to epress their capabilities, creativity and skills. We encourage members to demonstrate ecellence in sportsmanship, competitiveness, teamwork, and leadership while acting as positive role models and effective members of their community. FUN FACTS: 1. Marisa Bruno is the 5th athlete from USA wildcats to sign with Quinnipiac University in acrobatics and tumbling on an athletic scholarship. 2. We branched off rom USA Gymnastics and moved USA Wildcats to our own facility in Waterbury in 2003. 3. This is the first time we are taking multiple teams to summit from the Naugatuck location!
March ATHLEADERS Each month, one athlete from each team is selected who eemplifies and takes on a positive leadership role on each team and take the initiative throughout the season to better themselves and their team every practice with a "Whatever it takes" attitude.
